Nothing is 100% foolproof, although for day-to-day non-criminal activity, normal burning or cross-cut shredding will do the trick.

But thanks for the picture it gave me a great idea to use my Reagan(my cat). He likes to chew wires so I'll teach him chew papers.

It will take one Document truck to be knocked off before armed guards are needed. Most trucks from the big and best shredders and storeres, Cintas and Iron Mountain already have Brinks locks and massive background checks on anyone with access to sensitive materials. I've had my identity stolen by an employee of my insurance company. They didnt shred my personal information and needless to say they are not in business anymore.

They would probably mind if I was bringing in reams of shredding daily, but I don't get that much mail. This won’t work for everyone, but I shred stuff at my office.

Paper tends to break apart and printed inks disappear, wad and unwad the pile a few times to really pulpify it. No one will be doing anything with any of those documents after they've been turned into paste.

Scores of organizations from coast to coast across the U.S.A. and Canada sponsor services where the public can shred personal papers or recycle electronics/hazardous waste for little or no cost. For most people, these events are faster and easier than trying to dispose of this stuff at home. Up until now, it was never this easy to find a shred or recycling event when you needed one, AND they’re free! You might check this out.

You're right, it's something that people just don't take the time to do and it can make a huge difference just by making a conscious effort to go and do it. I would much rather take the 10 minutes of shredding identity-rich documents than have my identity stolen, thank you very much. Thanks for giving me the boost to get on this issue.
